| Description | This is a proof of concept backdoor malware. It allows a remote user access to an infected computer running on Windows 2000. It consists of a client component and a server component. A hacker uses the client component to communicate with the server component on the infected system. With the client program, the hacker can open a command prompt on the infected system. The hacker may communicate directly with the target system via certain firewall configurations. This backdoor hacking tool compromises network security. |
